      speaking of which, the cheating chocolate machine at clientco refuses to accept the vast majority of 20ps, including a bit cheekily the ones it gave you in change earlier. You can't reason with machines though - it even refuses to haggle over the prices.

        If so you are a muppet! When the 20p dispensor gets stuck why not dispense 2 10p coins instead of having to drag over one of the store assistant.

        Whoever coded it up is a muppet.
        Probably been patched to scan for those collector's 20p coins and hold them when they find one...

          Just let it go. You're a loaded contractor FFS - even Bill Gates wouldn't stoop down to pick up $4000 so he's hardly likely to be worried about 20p
          Taking care of money is why we are so well off in the first place.

          You sir are acting like a Nouveau Riche type who thinks that flashing money around impresses those who already have it. It doesn't.

          Remember the phrase "A fool and his money are easily parted". Seriously.

            Very true. I better hide my Aston Martin, BA gold card, and diamond encrusted underpants before you come round - I wouldn't want you thinking that I'm showing off my wealth

            Although I might have to buy a new cooker tomorrow, which'll set me back a bit...
